An Open Letter to God

by Kim Avery

Precious Christ of God,

You are the love of my life. You have captured my heart, captivated my mind, and consumed my affections. My deepest longing is to love You more.

Jesus, You amaze me – my Sovereign Savior, Redeeming Deliverer, Christ of God. How is it that You, the Eternal One entered time:

  • Creator becoming creation,
  • Spirit clothing Himself in human skin,
  • Breath of life – breathing,
  • Immutability taking shape,
  • Love crucified.

The unimaginable has occurred. You chose the path of death so that I could have eternal life. Why did the Almighty God, who is everything and needs nothing, die to make Kim His friend? There is no greater love than this.

You…

  • guard me,
  • protect me,
  • counsel me,
  • and fix Your eye upon me.

You have…

  • called me,
  • named me,
  • forgiven me,
  • and stamped Your image in my heart.

You continually…

  • desire me,
  • yearn for me,
  • reveal Yourself to me,
  • and delight in me.

You take my breath away!

A simple thank you is but a trite expression coming from a wandering heart, yet today I bow my heart and life in worship before you - my God and my friend.

Your child,

Kim

    I love these word pictures of the awesomeness of God. When I shift my mind to focus on HIM and not myself, it’s amazing how much better everything goes. Thank you for helping me worship with this beautiful reminder!
